    Wow. your page is amazing. And the food looks so good. I havent yet had any Azerbaijani food here yet. I was afraid. But looking at your photos, I really want to try it. Maybe the next time I am back in the states we can eat and speak some Russian! I hope all is well!

    Miriam, thanks for visiting:) Didn’t you try some in our place? I hope you didn’t think it was horrible:)) Azerbaijani food is different from Russian but we have been influenced by their food somehow. Come back again. Privet Sankt Peterburgu!

    SCARY AZERI: How is English milk? I wonder if it is any different than American milk. I have successfully made yogurt from local milk here, but I have to admit, it doesn’t come close to the yogurt my mom gets from Azerbaijani milk:)

    Hi Farida and Scary Azeri,

    Here in Canada I make a yogurt from the 2% fat organic milk. It Tastes very good. Before I tried to make it with non-organic and lower fat milk - the yogurt was good only for making suzme or shor.

    bonjour,

    la meilleure façon de faire de l’eau safranée est celle de l’iran, sinon piler avec un petit morceau de sucre pour avoir de la poudre.
